Pay Versus Performance
As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid and certain of our financial performance. For the most recently completed fiscal year, we did not use any “financial performance measures” as defined in Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K to link compensation paid to our named executive officers (our “NEOs”), to our performance. We are a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, and have elected to provide in this proxy statement certain scaled disclosures permitted under the Exchange Act for smaller reporting companies. For further information regarding our compensation philosophy and how we seek to align executive compensation with our performance, refer to the section titled “Executive Officer and Director Compensation” above.
The following table shows the past three fiscal years’ total compensation for our principal executive officer (“PEO”) and non-PEO NEOs as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”), the compensation actually paid (“CAP”) to our NEOs (as determined pursuant to SEC rules), our total shareholder return (“TSR”), and our net loss. SEC rules require certain adjustments be made to the SCT totals to determine CAP as reported in the pay versus performance table. CAP does not necessarily represent cash and/or equity value transferred to the applicable NEO without restriction, but rather is a valuation calculated under applicable SEC rules. The methodology for calculating CAP as required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K takes into account (among other things) changes in share price and its impact on the fair value of equity awards.

The dollar amounts reported are the amounts of total compensation reported for our PEO, Jon Olsen, for each corresponding year in the “Total” column of the SCT. Refer to “Summary Compensation Table – Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023”.
(2)
The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of CAP for our PEO. The dollar amounts reported are the amounts of total compensation reported in the SCT for the applicable year, but also include (i) the year-end value of equity awards granted during the reported year, (ii) the change in the value of equity awards that were unvested at the end of the prior year, measured through the date the awards vested, or through the end of the reported fiscal year, and (iii) the value of equity awards issued and vested during the reported fiscal year. See the table below for further information.
(3)
The dollar amounts reported for 2023 and 2022 are the average of the total compensation reported for our NEOs, other than our PEO, namely, Stephen Purcell and Gil Issachar, in the “Total” column of the SCT. The dollar amounts reported for 2024 are the average of the total compensation reported for our NEOs, other than our PEO, namely Stephen Purcell, Gil Issachar and Paul Krzywicki, in the “Total” column of the SCT. Refer to “Summary Compensation Table – Years Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023”. On March 7, 2024, Mr. Purcell resigned as our Chief Financial Officer upon the appointment of our current Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Krzywicki, on the same date. The inclusion of these three non-PEO NEOs during 2024, two of whom occupied the same position during the year, has the effect of reducing the average compensation amounts reported.
(4)
The dollar amounts reported represent the average amount of CAP for our NEOs, other than our PEO. The dollar amounts reported are the average of the total compensation reported for our NEOs, other than our PEO, in the SCT for the applicable year, but also include (i) the year-end value of equity awards granted during the reported year, (ii) the change in the value of equity awards that were unvested at the end of the prior year, measured through the date the awards vested, or through the end of the reported fiscal year, and (iii) value of equity awards issued and vested during the reported fiscal year. See the table below for further information.
